+compat-wireless linux-next-pending patches
+==========================================
+
+You must have a really good reason to be adding files
+in this directory. The requirement is your patches must have
+been posted to a public mailing list for the subsystem you are
+working on. Each patch you add here must have a really good
+explanation on the top of the file which clarifies why the
+patch has not yet been merged.
+
+We try to avoid having patch files because but we understand
+if you might because you need to test code posted but not yet
+merged into linux-next or a stable kernel release. This can happen
+often during the merge window, when the maintainers are unavailable,
+on vacation, suck at what they do, or for any other uncontrollable
+reasons.
